MTI's coating and cleaning solutions revolutionize the CIS semiconductor production process

With a business model centered around creating one-of-a-kind solutions for its partners in the semiconductor industry, the South Korean company MTI has developed a cutting-edge combination of products that have drastically increased CMOS image sensor manufacturers' yields.

From digital imaging to automotive and security applications, CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) have grown to become a vital technology utilized across industries and devices.

Despite the ubiquitous nature and immense potential of their product, CIS factories spent years grappling with relatively unstable and unproductive manufacturing yields, which hovered around 40%

ability of their operations. Part of the reason for this lack of productivity was the appearance of foreign particles during the dicing process, a key stage of back-end semiconductor production.

In recent years however, a Korean manufacturer of coating and cleaning materials has developed a unique combination of products to address this industrial challenge; a solution that is set to revolutionize CIS production.

Established in 2005, South Korean company MTI specializes in making chemicals and materials that are critical to the manufacture of semiconductors, supplying its top-quality products to major clients in the domestic and international markets. Notably, MTI is a trusted partner to the South Korean electronics giant Samsung.

In the nearly two decades since MTI’s president, James Park, founded the Ansan-based company, its dedication to offering clients unique, leading-edge solutions has led the company to become a niche leader of the Korean semiconductor industry.
